I have an 8Gig drive and a 30Gig drive on my PC. 
 
the 8Gig drive is known as /dev/ad2* 
the 30Gig drive is known as /dev/ad0* 
 
I've been running 4.9 STABLE since December on ad0, and I have been using ad2 for SWAP 
and TMP and other crap. 
 
 
Today I ran fdisk,disklabel, and newfs on ad2 and successfully completed the installation 
process to upgrade to 5.0-CURRENT.  However, when I booted into -CURRENT, ad0 did not 
appear in /dev. 
 
The boot manager properly offers the option to boot from ad0 or ad2, and FreeBSD properly 
boots on either drive - -STABLE boots on ad0 and -CURRENT boots on ad2. 
 
When I boot into -STABLE I can still mount slices from ad2 as before, but I *cannot* mount 
slices from ad0 when I boot into -CURRENT.   
 
I first tried to auto-mount ad0 slices in -CURRENT by including them in /etc/fstab.  When that 
failed I commented those entries out and rebooted and then tried to manually mount a slice 
from ad0 ... to no avail.  "ls -al /dev | grep ad0" reveals that there are no entries for ad0*. 
 
Furthermore, there are no entries in the new /dev which resemble a disk device other than 
those for ad2. 
 
What is I'm gonna do? 
 
Thanks for your attention, 
 
Lane
